| 293856 | 2004-11-19 06:24:00 | ive just had a windows xp professional editional operating system running on my computer for the last few weeks. however, as it is only a trial version, im expected to buy a 'proper' copy if i want to continue with it. trouble is, i dont want to go formatting my hard drive, so is there anyway that I can change the product key to that of the one i just bought and have it fully activated for use in the long run without my having to reinstall everything again? thank you |

| 293858 | 2004-11-19 06:30:00 | Changing the key is not difficult. There are official and unnoficial ways to do this. I am not "personally" sure how this will behave with activation, some one may enlighten us. D. |
